Commitment to Community

Taking a bow on the Embassy stage, students act out history and learn how a community chose to save the historic theatre from the wrecking ball. Students use analysis and application of information as they investigate the building.

Touring and discovering the amazing variety of artwork embedded in the walls, ceilings and floors of the Embassy Theatre reinforces the artistic value of the building itself. Taking the stage to reenact the history that led to the Embassy being saved helps students understand the responsibilities and choices that are made when citizens consider choices affecting an entire community.

The two-hour Study Trips session teaches students about a real-life connection between civic responsibility and the arts. 2-2.5 hours. Aligned to standards, appropriate for grades 2 to 6.

Following the path of a patron, participants use primary sources to compare attending a performance at the Embassy Theatre in 1928 to today. 90 minutes. Aligned to state standards, appropriate for all ages. Great for Scout troops, clubs and other organizations.

This Study Trip experience invites preschoolers to explore the Embassy Theatre with their senses. Instead of telling four and five year olds “don’t touch,” they can explore the beauty of the theater with their hands, eyes, and ears while practicing recognizing shapes and colors. Appropriate for ages 4 to 5.
